Herrie, dink jy die bed moet n tipe van n kopstuk he, anders val die kussings die heeltyd af . Of is dit nie nodig nie, ek sien jou bed het n kopstuk, wat was die rede daarvoor?

'n Kopstuk sal help - myne was los en het in twee gate ingeskuif. Jy kan dan tenminse teen hom sit en hy keer dat die kussings afval.

Rits julle of slaap julle op die matrasse??? :naughty:

As stretchers in die tent pas is dit sekerlik die antwoord met of sonder 'n matras.

Die Dis-Co beddens wat die woonwa ouens in die 80’s verkoop het is ook seker ʼn opsie om te herontwerp.

Hi , check out this method, maybe not the style, but how to make a bed out of ply by just pushing into each other with cut outs. Maybe thick wall alu poles can be used as the slats for the mattras to lie on.The other thing if you dont cut the legs out like in this one, you have a flat surfaces lying on the groundheet, ie NO holes.
What do you guys think

This bed can be assembled with nothing more than a screwdriver. The quickly collapsible, and transportable, queen size bed is the latest in knock-down construction — something for the modern nomad without skimping on design.


The bed has a 12- inch shelf surrounding its perimeter for holding books, coffee cups and other bedside accouterments. It is constructed from plywood, the Knock-Down Bed also ships flat, reducing the need for excessive packing materials. The price is $1850 from Vivavi. The designer’s home page is Material Furniture via productdose.

Very nice Koos,

Great solution if one can fit in a decent queen size mattress into your wagon! I suppose one could make discs for the feet to distribute the load.

Stefan , ek dink Queen is te groot , dubbel is net reg . 190cm x 137cm mate .Vir kamp kan mens dirt selfs smaller maak se so 120cm wyd , nie smaller nie. Vir n std dubbel bed het jy 2 kante nodig van ongeveer 2000x400mm , n kopstuk van se 1500x700 en n voetstuk van 1500x400mm met die wand alu pale vir slats of selfs n geweefde webbing band wat mens kan gebruik om op te slaap.

Raak nou elke keer moeiliker om van die grond af op te kom, soos mens ouer raak.

Ratau, as mens dit uit marine ply maak kan mens n opblaas matras gebruik waarop jy kan sit en n outboard aan die headboard vasskroef en dan gaan jy sommer see toe ook.
So n waterbed en n BOOT
